Coupons, coupons and more coupons!

Money is tight! To many, that is an understatement.

Coupons are on the rise! Can you believe in this day of technology people are still hunting and clipping coupons?? I do it. With a family of four to feed it is a necessity for us.

Unfortunately, it is a time consuming and often relentless process searching for coupons. Do a search for "coupons" and you get a bunch of useless sites that you have to sign up for, not to mention the coupon printer you have to download in order to get those coupons. In a nutshell, it is a pain in the butt to coupon hunt.

My advice? Go directly to the manufacturers website. Yup, it is that simple. I have found that if I need a specific coupon, for Pillsbury for instance, I go directly to that website and see if they will either email or snail me a coupon. Target even has weekly coupons that they update on their site. A lot of manufacturers are getting in on this because they know if they offer even one dollar off their product then someone is more likely to try and stick with buying that product.

So, happy hunting and if anyone out there has an excellent site for coupons please share! We could all use a little bit of the extra savings!
